Light Painting

Liesl introduced several of us to something really cool you can do with cameras and chem lights and/or laser pointer lights. We have gone out a few times at night to do this and it's been a lot of fun! I am learning all kinds of cool things here and it breaks up the day-to-day boredom.

Flowers, Trees, grass, etc...

This is me blowing out candles on a birthday cake

When I got promoted, this is me and a Marine Warrant Officer

Promotion

I am a Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2) now!!!

I'm sure some of you are wondering what the difference between aWO1 and CW2 are, let me explain. A WO1 (Warrant Officer 1) is appointed by the Secretary of the Army and a CW2 is a commissioned officer appointed by the President of the United States. So there is a lot more responsibilities as a CW2, plus you are expected to know a lot more. Hmmmm..... sure, ok.

My promotion formation

LTC Morris was so nervous about putting the new rank on me because it goes on our chest, it's in the center of our boobs.... HAHAHAHA
